Pride
Sense of pride when complete
Accomplishment very neat
Beginning you didn’t know
End result so you gave it a go
Taking on something worthy
Will it go topsy-turvy
Create mish mash big mess
Miss a chance for happiness
Perhaps OK for your hearing
Others engage get their bearing
Deeper in whatever it is
Realize traction wow gee whiz
Seeing completion in sight
Just might be dynamite
Suddenly on the other side
You say wow what a ride
Everyone pulled from inside
Allowing all to fill with pride
Anticipating a new quest
Recall what you did best
What fears about your meaningful work holds you back?
What generates faith and trust?

I have always been a seeker, always looking for the answers to what seekers ponder. I can remember Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Psychocybernetics; Dr. Carl Rogers On Becoming a Person. Moving through my legal training and practicing law the focus was always about people and how to better their lives. All that searching, reading, studying and introspective work culminated in this collection of daily readings for seekers.
My work in the world has progressed from fighting legal cases to mediating divorces to helping people understand the essentials of relationship and collaborating to these poems. How can we collaborate effectively and work with each other in harmony to create the world we seek. How can we mindfully enable this world to become a place that works for all.
My prayer is that through introspection using these poems as a guide we can all grow together in making the world the Heaven on Earth we all aspire toward.
